Yup, throw in the sake and then when your done walk 2 blocks down get a foot message by a big tit china girl for 30 min at $15 to let the food digest

Always gotta have hot sake with the meal. Never tried the second part though. I was at Benihana last week with some girl. I told them it was her bday when it actually wasnt. Won me points on the sense of humor scale. Try it next time before the foot massage.

Anyone been to a steakhouse called Gallagher's or a bar called O'Flaherty's? Only two places I remember patronizing when I visited. Oh, and the Time Square Brewery.

Yeah, like most things I get a sense of a diminishing increase in excellence and a sharply rising price past a certain level of quality. I doubt I'd appreciate the difference between $400 and $1000 cuisine. Ingredients and kitchen staff only get so good. Past that you're paying their location rent and I can buy a lot of petrol for $600. Tbh, I'm hard pressed to name an expensive meal that I enjoyed more than the $20 mexican chicken mole or pulled pork bbq I had on a trip to Chapel Hill, NC. (Alain Fabregue's was worth it but it wasn't $500 a head.) An occasional VSOP and my old box of Monte 2s suit me just fine if I feel like an indulgence.

*The Wagyu I was served on someone else's dollar wasn't the best beef I've ever had by a long shot. That was the prime rib at Volcano, Hawaii, in a stark cafeteria with plastic tables, believe it or not. I don't know what they did to that poor cow in the way of hormones and force feeding but it was out of this world.

Had some Wagyu when visiting Tokyo last year. Surprisingly mediocre. I'm BBQing myself a good 3-Lb steak later this week. Let's see how that measures up.

Sounds kinda puny by Getbig standards but if the health look is your thing then I'm not gonna judge.

Even for someone like me, whose cigars cost more than a decent bottle of wine, those prices are insane.

Damn, you're wealthy too? There go my plans to steal Bertha Butt from you.

Come on that's a generic answer.

I have to go with Milos http://milos.ca/restaurants/new-york Tough finding anything better than this spot.

Ate in NYC many times on the company expense account. Favorites were Ben Bensons, Frankie and Johnnies in midtown. Sparks was alright as well.

haha... Purple Drank for "grown ass" Hebrews.

I think the real purple drink is either koolaid or that stuff that comes in a gallon jug from the grocery that's purple.

Also, the proper term in the Hebrew community is simply "purple". As in "Pass me some purple He-bro"...
